In one embodiment, a method includes instructing sensors on an AR headset to capture data of a real-world environment, discovering a 3D location where a native application configured to run natively on an operating system is downloadable, generating and displaying a virtual object representing the native application at the 3D location, detecting a user of the AR system interacting with the virtual object, downloading a first executable portion of the native application, executing the first executable portion within a sandbox process having a predetermined set of access permissions, progressively downloading a remaining executable portion of the native application while the user is interacting with the executed first executable portion, and in response to a determination that the native application is completely downloaded, installing the native application on the operating system.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the limited set of access permissions for the sandbox process are predefined by the user prior to downloading the first executable portion of the native application.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the virtual object is offered based on user preferences.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the user preferences are determined based on user-defined settings.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the virtual object is a glint.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the limited set of access permissions for the sandbox process are predefined by the user prior to downloading the first executable portion of the native application.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the eye gaze is detected for a threshold period of time.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the user pointing is detected for a threshold period of time.
16. The system of claim 9, wherein the virtual object is offered based on user preferences.
17. The system of claim 16, wherein the user preferences are determined based on user-defined settings.
